Forgot about that song! I grew up with the original https://youtu.be/NVUGCdTVpug?si=XT3x3jo_t9Akn10w
My Dad considered using right to try to get access to a med that seemed to work for him, but no one else in a clinical trial. The whole trial got shut down, but with right to try he could potentially get approval to continue using the unapproved med.
I'm really sorry! Keep the hope. I work in public mental health and have people in my office all the time that are sober from hard drugs. Had a client in today who had been to court ordered rehab or jail for smuggling meth into jail. Shes been sober 2.5 years after that rehab and doing well.
You are doing the right thing with your boundaries too, no matter how much it hurts and how hard it is.
Praying for all of you!
I've never seen pride crap in TSC, so that means these shitheads know their customers hate it and they need to hide their slimy ESG crap.
Odd enough, I live in one of the most diverse places in the country and I don't think I've ever seen a non-white nor a queer employee, either.
Manipulative hypocrites just pretending they are like us, I guess.
Used to be my fave store, but like others I started having issues with my chickens laying. I've been driving 30 mins to a feed store. Guess I'll skip TSC for everything else too.

Good to know. I can think of a couple of people I know that may be like you guys and just keeping it to themselves for now. I'm kind of the same in some ways. It's lonely, and I sure could use my older siblings and their friends to show up and speak out like the brutal punks they used to be ;)
Exactly this. They know deep down, but they are working really hard to try and maintain the bubble the guy in the video talks about. It's fingers in the ears, singing lalalalalala.
Love of the bubble is what motivates denial. Gen Z and Millennials didn't get the bubble. Boomers have the biggest bubble, but it's popping faster than for Gen X because they see their kids and grandkids, some peers, struggling and with no opportunities for income, housing, and healthcare. In my experience, if sleeping Gen Xers see this, they immediately call it personal failure. Sometimes they are worse about that than boomers.
It occurs to me.... the latchkey generation grew up practicing denial to cope with some of their realities as kids. This is part of what makes them tough, practical, and stoic though, which can be a major asset when it's time to deal with reality. Hope they break through soon.
I'm Gen X and not a single Xer I know is awake. They have too much to lose still and are cozy in their nicely made beds... for now.
The economy is about to shake them awake though. I can see some of them being very susceptible to suicide, but some others will be fucking lions for change.
I never lost my "ideological bullshit". Never will, Tony.
